SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps engineers and operators quickly identify the root causes of runtime failures in Plenum, a Home Assistant HVAC zoning system, by mapping symptoms to evidence-based troubleshooting paths.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Symptom-Based Triage: Matches common HVAC failures such as incorrect temperatures, stuck vents, failed cycles, timezone issues, WebSocket problems, and CI failures with ranked causes and verification steps.
  • Diagnostic Guidance: Provides targeted commands, database queries, log locations, and API checks to distinguish between similar failure modes.
  • Use Case: When a smart vent zone stops responding or cycles behave unexpectedly, use this Skill to find the most likely cause and the fastest validation method before changing code.

Quick Start

Ask the plenum-debugging-playbook skill to diagnose why my Plenum HVAC zone is not behaving correctly.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug a Home Assistant HVAC zoning system when a smart vent zone stops responding?

Debug Home Assistant HVAC zoning failures by mapping unresponsive smart vent symptoms to ranked root causes. Validate issues using targeted log checks, database queries, and API inspections before modifying code.

What is the best way to triage smart thermostat cycle engine failures in Plenum?

Triage Plenum cycle engine failures by matching unexpected smart thermostat behaviors to ranked root causes. Apply repository-specific operational knowledge and database queries to validate the exact failure mode.

Why does my Home Assistant WebSocket integration fail during HVAC vent control operations?

Home Assistant WebSocket failures during HVAC vent control operations stem from runtime errors in the Plenum zoning system. Isolate the root cause by executing API checks and reviewing specific log locations to distinguish similar failure modes.

How do I troubleshoot timezone problems affecting smart thermostat behavior in Home Assistant?

Troubleshoot smart thermostat timezone problems by diagnosing the Plenum runtime failure. Query the database and review logs to verify timezone configurations and isolate mismatches causing incorrect HVAC cycling.

Can I use database queries to diagnose stuck smart vents in a Home Assistant HVAC integration?

Yes, use database queries to diagnose stuck smart vents in a Home Assistant HVAC integration. The Plenum system applies evidence-based triage, querying the database alongside API checks to pinpoint why vent zones fail to respond.

How do I fix CI troubleshooting scenarios for a Home Assistant HVAC zoning repository?

Fix Home Assistant HVAC zoning CI failures by applying evidence-based triage. Map CI failure symptoms to ranked root causes and validate them using repository-specific operational knowledge alongside targeted API checks.
